The other day I was reading a book with my niece called 'Cars and Trucks and Things that Go' which has a find Goldbug game within the story. You know the ones where there are all these scenes on the page and hidden in there somewhere is a gold bug. As we were searching I had a thought about how this was what my life was.

I go onto the Internet and do a search for a home Internet business and I'm bombarded with data. There are so many choices, that you need to look at, through and around that it all becomes a big mess of information. Which ones are scams, which ones are legit. What niche do I want to look at. It is the never ending search for Goldbug. You end up reading a ton of information, and feel more confused than ever.

Then I had that day with my niece. She's six years old. As I am trying to look at the entire page and soak in all of the content, she is placing her finger on each item and going, 'No, not there.', then moving on to the next car. I watched her as she found each Goldbug and realized there was a lesson here.

Instead of trying to get all of the information in a day, or in my case an hour. Look at each home business, evaluate whether it meets your needs, and what type of training it has. If it is a maybe, put it to one side. Then look at another one. When you get to three or four, compare them to each other and pick the one you like the best. Repeat the process and you will get to the point where you not only have a list of potential home business ideas, but you will have a better understanding of your needs and desires.

It takes time to find what you are looking for in a business, but if you go in a methodical way, you can also find the Goldbug.
